Back in W1 again after it’s sell out run after Edinburgh last year, Hayley McGee’s solo is a real whip cracker of a show, dissecting age and the way we are all moving closer to death with every tick of the clock and doing it with a clear-eyed gaze and considerable wit. It’s a brilliantly put together piece and along the way it is steely on families, friendships, our inability to make real change and our lack of appreciation of our youth and life itself—until it’s too late. Don’t leave it too late to catch a show whose message is that we should all seize the moment.
Age Is A Feeling wrestles with our endless chances to change course while we’re alive. A covert rallying cry against cynicism and regret. A call to seize our time. From Haley McGee (‘fearless, raw talent’ Canadian Broadcasting Company), creator of the sellout play The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale and author of a memoir by the same name (published by Hodder & Stoughton). This never-the-same-twice show is directed by Soho Theatre’s Associate Director Adam Brace (Liz Kingsman’s One Woman Show, Sh!t Theatre Drink Rum with Expats) with scenic design by Zoë Hurwitz (winner, 2019 Linbury Prize for Stage Design) and lighting design by Daniel Carter-Brennan (Liz Kingsman’s One Woman Show). Age Recommendation: 16+
